Van Dell Family/Anneliese

Basic Information

Name: Anneliese
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Height: somewhere between 5'6 and 5'8 (I imagine her as being tall, but I'm having a hard time putting an exact number on her height because I'm short myself.)
Close Relatives: Katelijn (Sister) Diederik (Brother)

Appearance

Her hair is long and brown, usually not braided or restrained in any way. Her eyes are brown with green flecks. She usually wears some form armor over her clothing, even if she doesn't expect battle. She is rarely without her sword, unless it has been wrested from her. If she carries any other weapon with her, it is probably a misericorde or a poniard.

Personality

She avoids responsibility as if it were a disease; she is not at all confident in her own abilities and does not want to risk failing. She has no particular aspirations, or ambition. All she wants is to fight, and even that is not something she feels confident with - she simply does it because she enjoys it, not because she thinks she's any good at it.

Since starting her military career (and meeting Davendrall), however, Anneliese has steadily gained more confidence, to the point that her insecurities are not at all noticeable or readily apparent to strangers. She might even be called arrogant or prideful, although that might or might not be another way of hiding her fears.

Anne has a lot of pent up rage, and has difficultly hiding her emotions, particularly when she's drunk. In the latter case, though, she is far more apt to hug a random stranger than start a fight.

She has a fondness for trading insults, which is the only way she feels comfortable showing affection when not drunk. This is probably somewhat confusing, as she tends to insult people she hates, too. She is, however, smart enough not to direct her insults at those of a higher rank. Usually.
